ken98k Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I've been sporadically working on this one since 08. I've built it from parts and a lot of improvised jigs and tooling. Not quite finished, but it is headspaced. Just need to put in a few pins and cold blue the barrel and It'll be ready to test fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken98k Posted January 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Finally got around to completing this one and test fired it today. First round didn't extract and the extractor ripped a chunk out of the case rim. I got the case out with my leatherman and tried it again, went through a whole magazine with no issues. Not sure what happened with the first round but the rifle functions perfectly. I have parts for 3 more but don't know when I'll get to them, this build spanned 10 years!

Dr.Hess Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Sometimes you just can't get in a hurry. I've been building a car for the last 18 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
